Why yes, it is awfully difficult to tell what day it is anymore. Friday? It is? Oh good!
Not that I have ever been hugely willing to sacrifice comfort for fashion, but working from home for six weeks has brought on a whole new level of expectations. Tight waistband digging in? No thanks! Shoes that require anything more than nudging my feet forward to put them on? Nah. That being said, I do still have video chat meetings to attend and fellow Target shoppers to stay 6 feet away from, and there is no rule that says comfy can’t also be pretty. Besides, I feel so much better when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror on my bazillionth trip to the kitchen for quarantine snacks more water if I wear an “outfit.” It feels like a nice little treat for myself to wear something I’ve chosen, rather than whatever sweatpants are closest to my hand when I get out of bed (although there are also certainly those days, too!).
Here are the makings for a hugely comfy, very casual work-from-home Friday:
This sweet onyx heart necklace would make me smile every time I put it on.
A cozy sweatshirt with nice clean lines will last you forever.
This soft cheetah skirt feels (but doesn’t look) like pajamas.
Copper Birkenstocks for comfort with a touch of glam.
This Oscar Wilde candle by Paddywax is just as good during a workday as it is while you unwind in the evenings. You know, when you have moved from your table to your couch.
A pair of nicely marked-down rose gold headphones (cute!) with excellent noise-cancellation (essential!) for all of those Zoom meetings.
A beautiful handblown glass pitcher and a pair of Deco-ish tumblers to keep you hydrated at your desk. Also perfect for post-work margaritas to ease you into the weekend.
